Harsha, added one for you, I think your profile pics and avatars got crossed up for some reason.

I see dead avatars

I go away for a couple of days and look what happens. I LOVE THE AVATAR. Yes the helmet-tux one was a large image from a camera but it worked for a long time (about 6 months). Although I liked it, was time for a change. The secret about that one was that wasn't me in the helmet or the tux. I thought it was so great that someone else thought wearing my helmet was cool that I snapped the pic. You guys know that we are rock stars to some of our friends.

Probably because it sounds like you have been staying out of them lately. What's wrong?

I think the avatar problem might be an issue involving linking a Facebook avatar with your TJR identity. Facebook seems to allow larger avatar file sizes than TJR. If you elect to link your TJR avatar with Facebook and the Facebook avatar exceeds the TJR allowable file size all that is displayed is the empty box with the red X in it.

That might be one way it goes wrong, but I fashioned my avatar specifically for TJR. It was a camera photograph that I compressed and cropped down to supposedly appropriate size, and was accepted by the site for several months. I don't have any links between Juicy and FB. If there is one thing I have learned about soft- and hard-ware related entities, is that no matter how good the design or execution, "bugs happen."

Hey, I thought I made a separate Bug thread

"Bugs Happen" - a bumper sticker seen on Veyron headed for a lagoon

Yer right Mr H, they do

I'll bump up the avatar size on TJR to match Facebook. Anyone know what the facebook size is?

200 wide for sure, up to about 400 tall, maybe even 500 tall

Somewhat larger avatar size capability would give more flexibility, but I don't know if you want to fully match FB, since here the avatar appears on every post. 400 or 500 tall avatars would cause post headers to take up an awful lot of real estate, and significantly stretch the thread vertically with unused blank space requiring much more scrolling.

My FB avatar is 200x205. When I llinked it to TJR I got the empty box. Switched back to 150x150 and no problem.
